Debt Elimination Challenge

A Credit Card Is A Dangerous Thing To Use

One super sloppy credit card mess

Some of the thousands of people reading this may remember the old afternoon game show "Double Dare." It involved kids and gross out gags, for those of you unfamiliar with it. Digging through a tub full of goo in search of a small object, eating huge spiders, that kind of thing. It was a big Challenge, not unlike dealing with credit card debts. More recently, this basic concept was bogarded by NBC's "Fear Factor," but the fact remains the same. Coping with the various and sundry credit card problems people face can be one giant mess, one that you wouldn't even think of double daring someone to endure.

Nevertheless, you can beat any credit card at its own game and gain the upper hand. Want to learn how? Continue reading below.

Understand your credit card

It's the key to any fight, whether drinking a gallon of milk in 20 minutes or trying to overcome massive credit card debt. Know your opponent. Maybe it's just yourself and inner demons that you are fighting here. Or maybe it's that stupid high-interest credit card with the outrageous annual fees that you got suckered into signing up for. Man, that free bobble head doll at Wrigley Field just wasn't worth the trouble of signing up for that crap, now was it. Never mind. The past is the past, and your credit card balances can be reduced if you find the right pressure point and SQUEEZE.

Cut up any credit card you don't want.
Then call up the appropriate company, tell them you wish to cancel your line of credit with them, and tell them what you really think of their greedy, faceless and bush-league credit card operation.
Pay off all of your credit card bills in full when you can, or come as close as your budget will allow. The stupid option to pay just the minimum amount is not worth your time and only results in more interest the b!tche$ can pile on you later.
